After watching a video 125 drivers eye view on the northern line (filmed in 1999) I've had it in my head, to suggest this route. Route The northern line is a 36 mile route from Morden and Kennington, via Greater London on 2 branches to High Barnet, Mill Hill East and Edgware. Stations: 52 Stations - 38 underground. Trains: 2 trains will be included, the 1959/62 stock, and the 1995 stock. (1959/62 is an unpainted train) Depots: Highgate Depot, Golders Green Depot and Morden depot will be included. Features: Only 2 features will be included: guarding. The 1959/62 was one of the last trains to have guards before driver only operation (DOO) we can have a few services where your not driving a train, your guarding it and we can see ai guards aswell! And the 1995 stock's DOO cameras (told later) ATO: In 1999, ATO did not exist on the northern line and the signals were operating normally. Only in 2000 did the northern line introduced ATO, after the farewell to the 1959/62 stocks. Battersea: In 1999, the battersea branch did not exist, only the Kennington loop. Passengers: rush hour passengers would be perfect, it would also be amazing to see the platform packed with passengers during peak hours! DOO: with the 1995 stock's DOO, the camera will work on the train. Summary: this would be an excellent opportunity especially with a year with Modern and old units! (And not ATO)
I would love this route. I would prefer if it gets set in the modern day. No sign of another Underground route in the roadmap.
Seeing that we have the Goblin Line coming soon hopefully DTG might make another London Underground route, I hope for a subsurface line like H&C, Metropolitan Line or my top choice the District Line
modern day wouldnt be any good as it uses TBTC signalling which is basically ATO. pre TBTC would be better.
I would love this route. I would most certainly be happy with 1999 but no earlier than 1995 for the Northern line in my opinion.
I would also love the district line set in the modern day with the S7's. It would implement AI traffic at Barking.
Modern day it’s CBTC the same as TBTC really so just as the S stocks arrived would be better when it was coloured light signals
I love the S7 trains they are beautiful. They are very different to any other London Underground train apart from the S8.
